OPT & CPT Information Session for International Weitzman Students

Join us for a virtual information session about Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT). This session will help you get started on preparing for summer internships or employment after graduation in the U.S. Our colleagues at International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS) will provide helpful tips and answer questions regarding the application process for each of these programs.

Presenter:

Prior to joining the ISSS Team, Daniel worked as an Immigration Paralegal as well as an Immigration Services Coordinator. He has a Bachelor of Education from Millersville University of Pennsylvania and extensive experience with international students.

Originally from the Philadelphia area, Daniel left the United States after graduating from Millersville University and lived for over seven years combined in South Korea and China where he became passionate about the international experience for all who seek to travel it.
